HID Bulb replacement?????

I have a K2 6000k kit right now, I was wondering if you can switch the bulbs that are in it now for some different (k) color temperature bulbs. Like say, Phillips ones? Can I just buy some D2S bulbs off of eBay or something and then switch them with the ones I have now? I'm just making sure, cause I don't wanna go out and waste money if I can't even do this swap. Thanks...

(asking in this forum cause I know that alotta you R owners have aftermarket HID)

You have to make sure that the bulbs you are going to buy are modified to fit your stock 9006 housings.

Normal D2S will not work.

yeah..4300K is ideal.. anything above would be a loss of light and a waste of money.. for example 6000K or 8000K ...

but back to the subject.. you can buy other bulbs, as long as they are retrofitted for your headlight housing, and if they are made the same ballast type.
